I really like the idea of setting the values by your playback groups, as 
it gives you the option to set once and forget about it.

A feature I really would like to see replicated in myth would be the 
video from settings as in Media Player Classic: touch window from 
inside, and touch window from outside.  On my dell 20" widescreen, it 
fills the whole screen and doesn't take away from the viewing 
experience.   On a 16:9 with touch window from outside, it zooms the 
view so that the black bars disappear (but it keeps the aspect ratio). 
On a 4:3 with touch window from outside, it zooms so that it crops top 
and bottom but fills the screen from left to right.  It's really nice to 
watch videos that fill your entire screen.
